Thought I'd throw some pictures up here from our girls weekend in Edmonton.

What better combination than friends, food, shopping and cocktails to unwind from life - and throw in a rented Hummer and we're good to go!

The reason I started my blog was to connect with family and friends across this tiny planet. It worked perfectly in the beginning... then work got busy, facebook became popular among all my circles, and it became too hard to keep up. BUT, I follow some great blogs and have been very inspired and am creating a new blog focusing on Northern artists of all type. My blogging course has homework.. and oh boy... the homework is pushing me to get this blog done. I have the graphics done, the plan done... what's stopping me???? Just tonight, I was talking to artist, Janet Pacey and said "I'm going to post a new artist every week' and she translated that to 'oh, you are going to do an artist a month'. So sad, she knows me so well. She knows my type so well - best of intentions, so hard to follow through with the schedule I keep - but I'll try!!!!

Keep posted... and the new blog will be revealed soon.... sooner than even I thought!

ps - we had our Skills Canada competiton for Graphic Design today - thank you to Canadian North for the day off!!!! - and the kids from Yellowknife, Fort Smith and Inuvik all did amazingly well. that might be my first post in my new blog.... those high school kids have such amazing potential! wow! I had tears in my eyes at the awards ceremony, as usual. Amazing!

I want to thank one of my very best friends for our partnership in the Skills competition, our girls' road trips, our runs and just being able to be ourselves with each other and enjoy the friendship! I admire you and thank God for our friendship!

Welcome to my much neglected blog. I am newly inspired to continue posting and will be launching a new blog after I take my course from Decor8 blogger Holly Becker. Stay tuned...

I am so thankful for spring - the sun makes such a difference for renewed energy!
